The New York Giants
are not that far removed from two Super Bowl championships behind
quarterback Eli Manning, but a 6-10 campaign in 2014 was a major
disappointment. The team and its fans are certainly looking for more in
2015, and the schedule New York must navigate has been released.
While those additions will undoubtedly help, New York also cut ties with defensive linemen Justin Tuck, Mathias Kiwanuka and Linval Joseph.
Pete Prisco of CBS Sports seemed to like the Giants' moves, giving them a grade of B+ early in the offseason:
The Giants added a lot of players and only two big-ticket players in guard Geoff Schwartz and corner Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie. Both will start, and center J.D. Walton will likely start at center. That's two starters on the offensive line, which is huge. I also like the signing of corner Walter Thurmond. I don't like paying backs, but Rashad Jennings gives them some depth. They also re-signed several of their own, including starting linebacker Jon Beason and brought back receiver Mario Manningham.While winning the offseason is one thing, New York has to turn in more wins on the actual field after a lackluster effort in 2014.
